A SOUTH SACRAMENTO / NAPA VALLEY / SAN FRANCISCO / SUNDAY............

Awakening in South Sacramento were we attended Ger and Kev Butler attended, and Fr. Oliver and I, concelebrated 5th Sunday of Easter Mass with Rev. Fr. William Dinelli; we drove to the Napa Valley to see and tour some of the vineyards and wineries between Napa, Callistoga, and St. Helena.  Hagafen, Berlinger,  the old Christian Brothers Mont LaSalle winery, home to the Culinary Academy of America, and the Robert Mondavi Winery, were our stops today.  From there we returned to San Francisco to wrap things up in California tomorrow and fly to New York where we see the sights for three days and then return to Kilkenny and Sacramento respectively.  Kev and Ger have thoroughly enjoyed seeing the portion of California and Nevada we have covered in just eleven days and I am thrilled with Ollie's help to have had the chance to introduce it to them.  A special thanks to all my friends, parishioners, and family, they met along the way of these days............Fr.  Troy
